In Kingmaker I have a lich, playing LA Arcos, 5d 3e 3a. Lich, not a ML. One of my neighbors has a cyclops(japezzi), One has
an E9N4 manticore(EA Abysia), And 1 has a ML with death and Astral magic(ma Tien Chi).
Atul is my neighbor as well with Bandar Log, but I have not seen his pretender. Likely an immobile pretender with a heavy bless.
From last turn(26):
Free scouting report for enemies! Good luck stopping him!
